Fence Line & Right-of-Way Clearing in Gilmer, TX

Fence Lines in Gilmer

Fence lines disappear fast in Smith County. Yaupon and briar grow up through the wire, sweetgum saplings push the posts over, and within a few years you cannot walk the line, let alone fix it. Property lines go the same way, and so do pipeline easements, power line rights-of-way and the ranch roads that get you to the back of the place. I clear those strips back to a clean, consistent width the whole length of the line. For a fence that means mulching the brush off the old wire so you can pull it and set new posts, with a buffer on each side so it does not close back in by next summer. For a property line it means opening a clear sight line so a surveyor can find the pins and you can see where your land stops. For easements and lanes it means a strip wide enough to drive and maintain. Linear clearing is its own kind of work: you need a clean edge, a steady width and a machine that can work tight along wire without tearing up the pasture on either side. That is what the mulcher does best, and I do a lot of it on ranchettes and acreage from Lindale to Jacksonville and Canton to Gilmer.

Land clearing in Gilmer

Gilmer is the Upshur County seat, about 35 miles northeast of Tyler where Hwy 155, Hwy 271 and Hwy 300 meet, a courthouse town famous for the East Texas Yamboree every October and surrounded by some of the heaviest pine timber in the region. Lake Gilmer sits northwest of town, Lake O’ the Pines is a short drive east, and the hills from Big Sandy up through Pritchett and Union Grove are loblolly and shortleaf pine, red oak and sweetgum on red sandy clay, with a yaupon understory and poultry houses tucked into the clearings. This is timber country first. The tracts I clear around Gilmer are hunting and recreational land, homesites carved out of family timber, pasture that was let go and has come back in sweetgum and pine seedlings, and long fence lines on ranch ground that have grown shut. I underbrush tracts so the owner can walk and hunt them, open homesites and drives while keeping the big pines, mulch sweetgum back off pasture, clear fence rows and lanes, and take out the storm-damaged and beetle-killed pines that lean toward a house or a chicken house. The clay hills gully when they are stripped, so mulching in place is how I work here. One operator, one machine, a per-acre or per-job price set after I walk the land with you.
